Welcome to the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts! We are thrilled to partner with Saint Michael's College to offer current Saint Michael's undergraduates the new Flynn Center/Saint Michael's College Cultural Pass. The Cultural Pass allows students to attend more than 50 different world-class performances at the Flynn Center during the 2008-09 academic year.
The Flynn Center, located at 153 Main Street between Church and St. Paul Streets in the heart of downtown Burlington's entertainment district, is a nationally renowned performing arts venue offering the best in jazz, world music, dance, American roots music, Broadway tours, and more. The Cultural Pass gives Saint Michael's students FREE access to each event in the Flynn Center's regular season and select special events (listed below, more may be added during the season).
Please review and follow the simple guidelines and info on how to get your tickets to help you maximize your cultural experience. Download a copy of the season brochure (PDF), an application form (PDF), and/or a ticket order form (PDF).
